After losing his father in 2020, Jake experienced a severe mental health crisis that led to a diagnosis of bipolar I disorder and multiple hospitalizations.

n the years that followed, he worked with doctors to find stability through different medications and treatments. While some provided temporary relief, the underlying patterns continued to return.

During this time, Jake was introduced to Dr Joe Dispenza’s work through his mother, who arranged remote Coherence Healing™ sessions on his behalf. While in rehab, he read Breaking the Habit of Being Yourself repeatedly, using it to better understand the patterns that had shaped his thoughts and behaviors.

What began as reading and reflection gradually became a consistent meditation practice, helping him feel more grounded.

With medical supervision, Jake eventually tapered off medication. Despite high-stress events, he reports maintaining stability and continuing to build a different relationship with his mental health.

Today, Jake says he is no longer living just to cope, but is able to be present and show up for others in his life – a future his mother always saw was possible.
